ROG GL703GS Screen Flickering

I seem to be having a lot of problems with my NEW laptop. I haven't even had it a month and I've already encountered blue screen and crashing while playing games and this screen flicker which I have attached below. I got advised from Asus to do a factory reset, which I did and the problems did go away, but a week and a half later this screen flickering seems to be back, I have updated all the drivers and restarted the notebook and can't seem to find any other solutions to it. Is this a hardware problem? Very disappointed after spending £1500.. :mad:

UPDATE: When I start the computer in safe mode it doesn't do it, so it would mean this is a software problem?

Im 99% sure its a hardware problem. If you updated graphics drivers and its still doing it then I would immediately begin an RMA process.

The reason you don't see it in safe mode is because the graphics drivers aren't being loaded so the hardware isn't being used per say, no 3d acceleration in the desktop environment.. further confirming my suspicion that is it indeed a hardware defect.

I tried deleting the nvidia driver whilst in safe mode and rebooting it normal mode again and the problem stopped. I since re installed the same driver and it doesn’t seem to be an issue for now? I’ve contacted asus anyway and hopefully get it resolved.*

Might not be related, but a lot of similar issues reported on the official nvidia driver forums here:

Not the same issue, but be aware that AUO B173HAN03.2 [AUO329D] display panels mounted on our GL703GS laptops have another annoying issue (inverse ghosting)…
